Or it could just be a spurious reading from their instrumentation. Mars has no protective ozone layer and has a weaker than Earth’s magnetic field. Cosmic rays and other radiation rains down upon it. They are taking too much for granted..................

There’s a good chance you wouldn’t know what you were looking at in a visual-spectrum microscope if an alien microbe happened to turn up under your lens (there actually are microscopes). Consider the advances in scientific instrumentation which have occurred since the 1700s when the compound microscope was invented, especially those measuring chemical reactions. Chemical signatures can be much less ambiguous when they measure inputs and outputs from a biological process, even if you don’t know exactly what to look for when you design the sensors.

So a bacteria is considered life but a baby in the womb is just tissue. What a crock of crap.

Ah, the hubris of man. Just because we aren't aware of any other explanation means that there is no other explanation... at least until we discover another explanation. Actually, thats what they are saying:
They say methane spikes on the planet could be produced by bacteria And, at the moment, there is no better explanation for the spikes

I’ve said it before, and it applies beautifully here: If there was a 1 minute old fetus on Mars, there would no argument that life existed on Mars. Therefore, a one minute old fetus is undeniably Life, answering the commonly asked question, when does life begin?

Jupiter and Saturn must be TEEMING with life, with that methane atmosphere.

And it stays alive at extreme hot temperatures (above boiling point of water) and lows near or at absolute 0?This little fellow can =>
"Tardigrades can survive in extreme environments. For example, they can withstand temperatures from just above absolute zero to well above the boiling point of water, pressures about six times greater than those found in the deepest ocean trenches, ionizing radiation at doses hundreds of times higher than the lethal dose for a human, and the vacuum of outer space. They can go without food or water for more than 10 years, drying out to the point where they are 3% or less water, only to rehydrate, forage, and reproduce."

Interesting. The area around the head/mouth looks a little man-made (like plastic) however.
